Can Infection Affect My Lower Leg Fibers?

Patient's Query

Infection and fiber Leg

Orthopedic

Answered by Dr. Archit Aggarwal

An infection occurs when harmful bacteria enter through a break in the skin. Usual signs are redness, pain, heat, or warmth there, and growth of the affected part. You should clean the wound properly, bandage it with a clean piece of cloth then visit a dermatologist if there is no change. Oral antibiotics are usually prescribed to be taken as prescribed. To prevent future occurrences, make sure that you keep that place clean too.

I am a type 2 diabetic patient.four days before a rusted nail pierced my right foot.after that my foot started swelling and i am not able to eat and having nausea and I also have gastric trouble and constipation.i vomited thrice today and I didn’t have my antibiotics or any diabetic tablets.i also have headache and fever

Male | 56

Maybe there is an infection in your foot. When your skin is pierced, bacteria may enter and cause swelling. The symptoms you are having such as feeling sick to your stomach (nausea), throwing up, being unable to have a bowel movement (constipation), headache, and having a high temperature could be due to the infection moving around. Quick treatment with antibiotics and other drugs from a doctor is needed so that you can get well soon.

The nature and intensity of symptoms are highly variable in the case of different factors including age, life-style or overall health.

Dr, In 2014 I had a scooty accident and broke my left hand bone just above my elbow,at that time from the nearest hospital I had the surgery and got treated with metal plates supporting the bone and from then on I couldn't move my hand freely through the elbow. So, now can I here take out metal plate and treat my left hand bone with your help. Hope to get an answer. Thankyou!

Female | 42

If you have metal plates supporting your left hand bone just above your elbow due to a past accident, removing them should be considered carefully. Whether they can be removed depends on factors like how well your bone has healed and your range of motion. Pls consult your orthopedic surgeon if required.

A high fever and a sudden swelling in your right leg could be an infection. There are numerous causes of infections such as germs entering your body. It is of course important to take a break, drink fluids, and then use the cold pack on the swollen area.

As a medical expert, the first advice to you is to consult a reputable orthopaedic surgeon for the correct diagnosis and treatment plan for your femur condylar bone fracture. This may intensify a possible complication later. Surgery might be necessary, but this matter can be only clarified only after a thorough examination of your case.

Once the doctor evaluates the case the first line of treatment is rest, limited movements, medications and if needed surgery. Once the pain settles physiotherapy is needed. Life style modification, like exercises, weight loss, avoiding long hour sitting at one place etc. is very important.

You may have an abscess in the sacral region. It could lead to the formation of a sinus that discharges blood or pus. You may experience tenderness, local heat, or swelling around this place. Abscesses occur as a result of infections most of the time. It is important to visit an orthopedist immediately to incise and drain it then give antibiotics for treatment.

How to get rid of knee crepitus

Male | 36

Knee crepitus can be from multiple causes. Painless crepitus can be ignored. So, I won't advice for crepitus knee treatment as such.. Crepitus from knee cap problems can be cured with hip and knee strengthening. Crepitus from cartilage irregularities or loose pieces often need minor keyhole surgery. Painful crepitus from arthritis is initially treated with physical therapy and surgery when therapy stops helping.

Male | 17

The redness, bleeding, and pus are signs that your wounds might be infected. It's important to keep the wounds clean and dry. Use Betadine for dressing, as it helps prevent infection. Avoid putting too much pressure on your leg wounds to reduce bleeding. Your wounds will heal with time.

I am 22 female I have a bump on my foot that is getting bruised and bigger

Female | 22

You could have what’s referred to as a bunion. A bunion is a bony bump that forms on the base of the big toe. Tight shoes or heredity can be the cause of it. If it’s getting swollen and larger, it’s advisable to wear comfortable shoes and apply ice to reduce swelling. In some cases, surgery may be necessary if it’s very painful.

I twisted my ankle a couple hours ago , when it happened it hurt a lot, but I managed to get up a few minutes later and walk home. I rested for a few hours, and when I tried to walk again, it hurt real bad. I can’t step on my foot or even move it when I try to. It hurts really bad but when I don’t move it or step on it, it doesn’t hurt at all. The pain is all around the ankle it feels like tension or something blocking my movement.

Male | 17

Probably you have sprained your ankle. Ligaments can get stretched or torn when you bend your ankle too far, and as a result, you may experience pain and swelling. Additionally, it may cause you to have difficulty properly moving your ankle. Rest your ankle, apply ice, elevate it, use compression, and take medication to help with the pain and swelling. Avoid putting weight on it and allow it to heal. If pain persists or worsens, see an orthopedist for further evaluation.

Most cases of tailbone pain are not serious but if the pain is severe and affecting your routine then you can always seek a second opinion from a specialist.. such as an orthopedic doctor or pain management specialist.
